Supporters of President Trump from across the country gathered in Washington, D.C., on Saturday, and many of them joined together in singing the national anthem as the president flew overhead on Marine One.
Videos posted on social media showed a large group of people packed into Freedom Plaza singing the national anthem in unison and then cheering as President Trump flew overhead.

“Wow!” the president tweeted earlier in the day. “Thousands of people forming in Washington (D.C.) for Stop the Steal. Didn’t know about this, but I’ll be seeing them! #MAGA”

“There he is! There is our guy!” one woman could be heard saying as she pointed at the sky.
Former national security adviser retired Lt. Gen. Michael Flynn, recently pardoned by the president, was present and spoke to supporters at a “Stop the Steal” rally designed to show support for the president’s continued effort to dispute the validity of election results across the country.
“Our Constitution is about individual liberties … not collective liberties that only these people in Washington, D.C., understand,” Flynn told the crowd.
